Snowy Owls!!!

Today Betsy called saying she and Lydia were going out again today to try to spot the Snowys and asked if I wanted to come. Sure! We found two....TWO Snowy Owls in the onion fields today! We were giddy like school girls :) We then stopped by to see the Great Gray again, but I didn't take any pics of him today. A three owl day is a great day! Forgive the blurry photos...they were far away!

Snowy Owl #1...Got to even watch this one fly and eat something!!

﻿

Snowy Owl #2!! Not one picture of this one facing us. Assuming this is a female as it was quite a bit larger than the first one.

﻿
We also saw some ducks that looked like Scaup...unsure though. We got a good look at a Northern Harrier today as well! Great afternoon!!

It was an amazing day!! I took so many blurry shots and I can't bring myself to delete any of them :). I am anxious to see what my friend's daughter Lydia captured with jer camera.... This was a life bird!

About Me

I am a recently "retired" homeschooling mom of two children. My son is now in College and we made the decision this year to send my daughter to high school for grade 10. I enjoy reading, birdwatching, and learning about photography. This blog is a more like a diary of my birding experiences and some of my favourite bird photos. Take a look around...comment if you like something :)
Please leave me a comment and do correct me if I've misidentified a bird.
